Note that as $k \subset \overline{k}$ is integral all the prime ideals

In particular the residue field of any prime ideal of

the map

\Spec(\overline{k} \otimes_k K) \to \Spec(\overline{k} \otimes_k k')

is bijective because (1) all primes are mimimal primes, (1)
$\overline{k} \otimes_k K = (\overline{k} \otimes_k k') \otimes_{k'} K$,
and (3) $K$ is geometrically irreducible over $k'$.
Hence it suffices to prove the lemma for the action of
$\text{Gal}(\overline{k}/k)$ on the primes of $\overline{k} \otimes_k k'$.

\medskip\noindent
As every prime of $\overline{k} \otimes_k k'$ is maximal, the residue fields
are isomorphic to $\overline{k}$. Hence the prime ideals of
$\overline{k} \otimes_k k'$ correspond one to one to elements of
$\Hom_k(k', \overline{k})$ with $\sigma \in \Hom_k(k', \overline{k})$
corresponding to the kernel $\mathfrak p_\sigma$ of
$1 \otimes \sigma : \overline{k} \otimes_k k' \to \overline{k}$.
In particular $\text{Gal}(\overline{k}/k)$ acts transitively on
this set.
Finally, since $K$ is geometrically irreducible over $k'$ we
see that there is a unique prime of $\overline{k} \otimes_k K$
lying over each $\mathfrak p_\sigma$ since the set of these primes
is the set of primes in the ring
$$
(\overline{k} \otimes_k K)
\otimes_{(\overline{k} \otimes_k k'), 1 \otimes \sigma}
\kappa(\mathfrak p_\sigma)
=
\overline{k} \otimes_{\overline{k}} (K \otimes_{k'} \overline{k})
=
K \otimes_{k', \sigma} \overline{k}
$$
Thus the lemma holds.
this set as desired.
